Arsenal are interested in signing Sunderland star Jobe Bellingham following several scouting trips, according to Con Harrison.

The scout and Gunners’ insider, who has been featured on the BBC and The Overlap and is followed by the likes of Ben Jacobs, Jacob Steinberg and Darren Lewis on X (formerly Twitter), claimed this morning that Arsenal see the ball-carrying ability of the Englishman from midfield as a key attribute they could do with in the middle of the park.

Bellingham, dubbed ‘so powerful’ by Black Cats manager Regis Le Bris, is set to leave the Championship club at the end of the season, and the North Londoners are monitoring the situation.

Arsenal could be without Jorginho and Thomas Partey next season as they are both out of contract at the end of the season, and the Sunderland star could be signed to take their spots.

The Gunners are expected to bolster their midfield options before next season, and Bellingham would be perfect for them.

The 19-year-old has featured in 22 league games for the Premier League-chasing club so far this term, weighing in with four goals and three assists after ending last term with seven goals and an assist in 45 Championship appearances.

Apart from being a central midfielder and defensive midfielder, the England youth international can also play as a forward, and Arsenal could do with his goalscoring instincts.

His strengths include his defensive contribution, holding on to the ball, playing through balls and blocking the ball, and a combination of him and Declan Rice in midfield for the Gunners could significantly improve the team.

However, landing him could prove tricky as plenty of the biggest clubs in England and across Europe will be looking to recruit his services, and Arsenal may need to table a deal Sunderland and the player cannot reject.
